Welcome Words of Carmen Jurado, SoHT President

Dear friends,

On behalf of the organizing committee, I am delighted to have the privilege to welcome you all to the 46th meeting of the International Association of Forensic Toxicologists. This is the first time that the French West Indies will host the most important annual event of our discipline.
This meeting will offer a unique opportunity to share knowledge and experience
with colleagues from all round the world, bringing together the vast expertise of scientists actively working in the various fields of Forensic Toxicology.
This event will be shared with 2 others scientific societies, the French Society of Analytical Toxicology (SFTA) and the Society of Hair Testing (SoHT). Both of these bodies are important for me, as I am actively engaged in their scientific developments
It is also a great opportunity to create a unique and original concept under the local sun, beach and palms.
To host in Martinique a large number of active participants and accompanying persons, the Organizing Committee has continually worked since 3 years. All of us have given their time, their ideas, their feelings and even sometimes their anxiety to make a complete success of the conference. Each of them was present to offer his input to build this 18 pieces puzzle of the local board.

Beside the scientific program, we will offer you an exciting social program, guaranteed to leave you with fond memories of Martinique and to discover for the second time after Paris, the French touch. We hope we have designed events which you will not want to miss.

It is my sincere hope and belief that the meeting will be the right place to make new contacts, to nurture old ones or simply to meet others who share the same concerns.

In the hope that all our tireless efforts will correspond to your expectations, I, as well as the Organizing Committee, welcome you in Martinique.

Pascal Kintz
TIAFT President
